Test Engineer PCS

Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

Test Planning & Execution

Independently plan, develop, and execute test programs for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation testing, component validation, and full prototype system testing of grid-scale inverters, battery energy storage systems, and similar power conversion equipment

Define test objectives, acceptance criteria, and test sequences aligned with product requirements and applicable standards

Set up and configure HIL simulation environments; interface with real-time simulation platforms (e.g., RTDS, OPAL-RT, Typhoon HIL) to model grid and system behavior

Conduct electrical, mechanical, and functional testing of power conversion hardware including inverters, converters, and battery management systems

Operate high-power test equipment including power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, data acquisition systems, and grid simulators

Execute testing from bench-level component validation through full system integration and prototype testing

Ensure all test activities comply with applicable safety standards, internal procedures, and regulatory requirements

Analysis & Reporting

Analyze test data to assess product performance against design requirements and specifications; identify anomalies, failure modes, and root causes

Apply engineering judgment to interpret results and make recommendations with minimal supervision

Prepare clear, thorough test reports, data summaries, and technical documentation for use by design engineers, program managers, and customers

Maintain accurate test records, calibration logs, and equipment maintenance documentation

Contribute to design reviews by presenting test findings and supporting data-driven engineering decisions

Collaboration & Cross-Functional Engagement

Work closely with design engineers, systems engineers, and manufacturing teams to align test activities with product development milestones

Collaborate with controls and software teams to validate control algorithms and protection schemes within HIL environments

Participate on cross-functional horizontal teams; accountable for the quality and timeliness of your own deliverables

Communicate test status, risks, and issues proactively to program leadership and stakeholders

Support customer-witnessed testing and factory acceptance testing (FAT) activities as required

Problem Solving & Engineering Judgment

Independently diagnose and resolve test-related technical issues; apply systematic troubleshooting methods to hardware and simulation problems

Identify test infrastructure gaps and propose improvements to test rigs, tooling, and processes

Apply knowledge of electrical and mechanical engineering principles to evaluate test results within the broader product context

Contribute to risk identification and mitigation planning for test programs

Continuous Improvement & Process Development

Develop and refine test procedures, work instructions, and standard operating procedures to improve repeatability and efficiency

Identify opportunities to automate test processes and data collection; implement improvements with appropriate oversight

Actively seek and implement feedback from mentors and senior engineers to accelerate technical development

Support the adoption of new test methodologies, tools, and technologies within the team

Be an active contributor to a lean and continuous improvement culture within the test organization

Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing

Share technical learnings and test insights with peers and junior team members

Begin developing expertise in a specific domain (e.g., power electronics testing, battery system validation, HIL simulation) and serve as a growing resource for that area within the team

Seek mentorship from Lead and Senior Engineers; implement feedback and apply it to improve performance and output quality

Basic Qualifications

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field from an accredited college or university plus 1 to 3 years of relevant professional experience in test, validation, or product development engineering

OR Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field from an accredited college or university
